Try to establish if you are getting a fuel supply. Sounds like the pump is priming but if one of the injector relay's has died then it will not start.
Under the tank on the LHS is the return line with a Quick Dissconnect coupling, undo this and crank it over, you should get a fair bit of petrol over your hand !
If no fuel in the return line,suspect injector relays, test using an LED test light or NOID light plugged into the injector connecting thingy, you should get a bright constant pulse from the test rig when cranking it over.
Had a similar problem, fuel punk spanked but primed up ok, just would not work under load

oh oh.....
I think we have our winner
oil in these rotax engines is not like on an inline 4
Please tell me that you did not top up the oil to a mid point on the sight glass on a cold engine?
if so, we know the problem - second one this year
I will wander over today and have a look and I am willing to bet that we will find an airbox full of oil..... clean that out and the bike will start

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

and ...
that wasn't it
there was some oil, but not enough to cause none starting
we do have spark and we do seem to have fuel pump initiating
what we don't have is fuel getting from the tank to the throttle bodies....
Steve told me that the bike just stopped - no warning - though the fuel light had been on for a couple of days
I suspect that the fuel filter is totally blocked - so on Monday we will have a look at that

Worth mentioning yet again, check for full voltage into and out of fuel pump relay,then check injector relays, the input side of the injector relays are silver coloured, the output copper coloured, with a proven voltage, the injector relay should instantly switch to full voltage to the output side, and, there are no surplus connectors under the LHS tail unit where the relays hide.
